[Bug 902603] Re: When installing Multi-Arch: same (meta-)package for two architectures, dpkg considers one arch as completely disappeared

[Michael Nagel]

I just reported Bug #1022029 that basically gives me
======
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libtiff4 : Breaks: libtiff4:i386 (!= 3.9.5-2ubuntu1) but 3.9.5-2ubuntu1.1 is installed
 libtiff4:i386 : Breaks: libtiff4 (!= 3.9.5-2ubuntu1.1) but 3.9.5-2ubuntu1 is installed
======

when I noticed that Bug #991131 is marked as a duplicate of this bug here. In Bug #991131 the error is
======
Title: package libtiff4 3.9.5-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
======

so I am wondering if my problem is a duplicate as well (and the issue is not fixed completly) or if it is unrelated.
I'd appreciate if you could have a look at it.

Bug description:
  As documented in the release notes for 12.04, users of 11.10 64-bit
  need to upgrade apt and dpkg to the versions on oneiric-updates before
  upgrading to 12.04.

  If you did not install the dpkg update prior to upgrade and have hit
  this bug as a result, you will need to manually recover by running the
  following commands from a terminal:

   find /var/cache/apt/archives -name 'libjpeg8_*.deb' -name 'libtag1c2a_*.deb' \
       -name 'odbcinst_*.deb' -name 'libccid_*.deb' -name 'libao-common_*.deb' | sudo xargs dpkg -i
   sudo apt-get -f install
